On February 26, a group of retired public officials from Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province (represented by Son Kyungshik and Hong Gwiseon) issued a declaration of support for An Byungyong, the Democratic Party of Korea pre-candidate for Uijeongbu mayor, stating, "In crisis-hit Uijeongbu, we must put an end to clumsy experiments," and adding, "Verified administrative expert An Byungyong is the answer."

Through the declaration of support released that day, the group of retired public officials from Uijeongbu said, "Recently, time in Uijeongbu seems to be running backwards, the economy has fallen into a slump, and fiscal self-reliance has hit rock bottom, leading even to the unprecedented fiscal crisis of cutting hundreds of billions of won from livelihood-related budgets," adding, "Seeing the empty coffers and the increasingly difficult lives of citizens, we lie awake through the night."

Therefore, they said, "We are in desperate need of a prepared field operator who can go to work as early as tomorrow and break through the pile-up of pending issues, and of a leader who can overcome this crisis," and continued, "Only three-term mayor An Byungyong, whom we have watched closely at his side, is the sole person fit to accomplish this," presenting the following four reasons.

First, candidate An Byungyong is an administrator who has proven his real ability to fill what is empty. Together with him, we paid off 86 billion won of toxic debt and achieved the miracle of zero debt, and based on that performance, he is now the top expert who knows better than anyone how to attract external financial resources at a time when we are suffering from budget shortages.

Second, he is a pragmatist who focuses on citizens' livelihoods rather than ideology, which means he can boldly halt administrative actions that generate conflict and concentrate on sound investments that will fatten citizens' wallets. In particular, attracting the Korea Racing Authority headquarters and the Eco Horse Park is a groundbreaking master key that will revive the economy by generating 50 billion won in tax revenue and creating jobs every year.

Third, it is because he has formidable political clout that allows him to communicate with the core of the central government. He shares President Lee Jaemyung's governing philosophy and has built solid trust by overcoming harsh trials together, making him the only candidate who can decisively resolve major national projects.

Fourth, he is a dedicated leader who will be responsible for future competitiveness in this era of massive upheaval driven by cutting-edge technologies such as AI. At a time when bold change is essential, including building an AI innovation ecosystem on returned U.S. military bases, this heavy task cannot be handled by a novice, and through strong ties with the central government and powerful driving force, he will draw a new future map for Uijeongbu.

The group of retired public officials from Uijeongbu urged, "In times of crisis, we must choose a veteran whose competence has been verified, and we ask you once again to trust the administrative capabilities of An Byungyong, who for 12 years enhanced citizens' pride," and declared, "For the brilliant tomorrow of Uijeongbu, we strongly proclaim that we will pool all our strength and campaign for the overwhelming victory of verified three-term mayor pre-candidate An Byungyong."

The 30 retired Uijeongbu city officials who took part in the declaration of support that day include former Uijeongbu deputy mayors Son Kyungshik and Hong Gwiseon, as well as Go Mujung, Go Jintaek, Gong Wansik, Kwon Wantaek, Kim Gwanghoe, Kim Geunjeong, Kim Seongsu, Kim Yunjin, Kim Jaehun, Kim Haksuk, Kim Hoduk, Kim Hongil, Nam Yunhyeon, Noh Seokjun, Song Wonchan, Shin Taesu, Sim Jinju, Oh Jeongsu, Lee Geoncheol, Lee Mihyun, Lee Youngjun, Lee Okgun, Lee Yonggi, Lee Jaesong, Lee Hamin, Lim Munhwan, Jo Bokhyeon, and Choi Jonggeun.
